Wellbutrin (XL)

[Melody Joy]

I am currently on this as well as a generic form of Prozac. I take Wellbutrin in the morning and the prozac at night. Anyone else take Wellbutrin? Any side effects? Just a warning for any antidepressant users. Read the warning labels. The warning label on my Wellbutrin says "DO NOT drink alcholic beverages while taking this medication". I drank a few drinks Friday night and got very sick. I had never gotten that sick before (I used to drink a couple years ago). Also now it seems like the major side effect I've been having with this medication (nerve distrurbances) has increased a lot today. I feel like I'm going crazy. Hopefully this will wear off!!

Just pray...have faith...you'll come out of this...don't let it get to you...God really is there and he does love you!

thank you. yes thankfully it was just Sunday that those disturbances were making me crazy. I learned my lesson this weekend

I also experienced a side effect due to not reading the warnings first. I was on Paxil and took a cold med at bedtime and was out of it all night. Spinning room, dizzy, nauseous, etc. Yuck. Glad to hear you fell well now. I am on Celexa now and I won't even have one drink because I worry about the effects. Vanessa

is wellbutrin expensive? i am on prozac, have been for years, and when i get married want to switch to something like that with less side effects

I pay $25/month for Wellbutrin and that's with insurance. Don't know how much it is without. I am also on prozac (generic) which I take at night, and I'm hoping to get off of it in a few months. It has sexual side effects (low desire). Wellbutrin doesn't have that. The only side effect (besides getting really sick after drinking) is the nerve disturbances that seem to happen when I feel stressed but they aren't terrible.
